Picture it. You’re 21 years old, you’ve been working non-stop for the past decade, you’ve literally grown up in the eyes of the world, you’re worth tens of millions, and now your record-grossing eight-film franchise has ended. That’s a lot of weight on some very young shoulders. What you need is a vacation, to let off some steam. No, what you need is a present – to yourself.

Such is what happened with Rupert Grint, Ron Weasley of the Harry Potter franchise (the final installment of which is due to open this coming Friday). And so, for the princely sum of £60, he bought an early ’90s Vauxhall Carlton, painted it up like a Royal Navy lifeboat, and set off across Europe in the annual Wacky Rally. Rules for the Wacky Rally limit the car’s purchase price to £250.

The paint scheme makes it a doppelgänger for a Royal National Lifeboat Institution craft. The RNLI is a charity dedicated to saving lives at sea around the coasts of the U.K. and Ireland. In 2009, RNLI lifeboats rescued 8,235 people, and RNLI lifeguards aided 15,957 people. Grint’s co-drivers are James and Oliver Phelps, who played Fred and George Weasley (Ron’s older twin brothers), and who have been involved in helping the RNLI raise funds for some time.

Unusual motoring adventures aren’t out of the ordinary for Grint: he also famously owns an ice cream truck, a pink Bedford van converted to a Mr. Whippy soft ice-cream dispenser.

RIGHT ON , RON !! Well, whatever personal problems he has are his business .To do something that could benefit the RNLI is to be applauded .They are heavily depended on to save lives and this is to be lauded .Personal things aside a good ride for a good cause !
